Jones New York Women's Fashion Brand

Jones New York is a modern lifestyle brand rooted in the classic, complemented by on-trend details, clean lines and its signature quality. That positioning sentence balances four things a shopper can actually test: rooted in the classic, so the silhouettes stay familiar; on-trend details, so they stay current; clean lines, so the design reads uncluttered; and signature quality, the brand's own name for its construction standard. Modern lifestyle brand is the umbrella - clothing intended to move through a whole life, work included, rather than a single category or occasion within it.

The Jones New York woman is confident, expressive, loves fashion and appreciates all things beautiful; always polished, she is casually elegant in her overall appearance. Polished yet casually elegant is the register to shop for: pieces finished enough to read as deliberate, relaxed enough to wear without ceremony. The brand's customer description is unusually complete in this letter - confident and expressive are attitudes, polished and casually elegant are outcomes - and it gives a fitting-room standard: a Jones piece is working when it makes its wearer look composed without looking dressed up, the exact middle ground modern working wardrobes are built in.

Began in 1966: Women Put the Force in Workforce

It all began in 1966 with a vision, a passion and a well-heeled hunch from Jones New York founder, Sidney Kimmel, who worked out that it was women that put the force in workforce. That founding sentence carries the brand's whole origin argument: 1966, a named founder, and a hunch about women's working lives as the market insight the company was built on. A label founded on dressing the workforce should be judged, first, on work: clothes that hold a day, a commute and a meeting with equal composure, in the clean lines and quality its modern positioning still claims.

And 40 years on, nothing much has changed: the Jones New York customer supports their families, multi-tasks, and balances the complex lives that women lead today. Forty years on from 1966 dates that sentence's vantage point in the brand's own record, and its content has dated least of all - supporting families, multi-tasking and balancing complex lives is a wardrobe brief as much as a biography. Clothes for complex lives must coordinate without thought, travel without fuss and repeat without boring; that is the standard this profile hands a shopper, drawn straight from the brand's own description of its customer.

Timeless Versatility and Shopping the Brand

In a world of ever-changing fashion trends and styles, Jones New York has timeless and versatile designs that complement any woman's individual expression. Timeless and versatile are the claims to test hardest, because they are the easiest to print: a timeless design is one you can picture worn five years apart without either year looking wrong, and a versatile one earns three different outfits in your existing wardrobe without new purchases to support it. Complementing individual expression is the finishing condition - the clothes should frame the woman wearing them, not replace her with the brand.

Shop the range as a system for a working life: anchor on clean-lined tailoring and dresses in the classic base colours, add the on-trend details as the season's accents, and check signature quality at seams, linings and closures where it actually lives.
